Hey, it's Lauren Bright-Piceco.

In addition to true crime, health and wellness have long been intense interests of mine,

and I've been working on a podcast that actually combines all three.

Symptomatic, a medical mystery podcast tackles incredible cases of health challenges that

have stumped patients and their doctors for years, sometimes even decades, at times terrifying

and ultimately really inspiring.

Symptomatic offers amazing insight into real-life health issues that could actually impact

your life, too.

We're currently launching our second season, and I am so excited to share our first

episode with you.

I hope you find it as engaging and compelling as I do, and I will be back very, very soon

with another true crime investigation.

That's so unusual.

after her or get the germs, either.

She had had several years of symptoms that were slowly progressing, and when we hear

that, you know, that's worrisome.

It's such a baffling set of symptoms.

We felt like, perhaps, he thought that I was just making this up, but the episodes just

kept coming.
